1963 Map of Spy Rock

About this map

The San Saba River defines the northern edge of this landscape, where the border of Mc Culloch and Mason Counties cuts through a terrain of creeks and rocky landmarks. The area is characterized by family and community history markers such as Blackjack Cem, Wagram Cem, and Tabor Mountain Cem. Notable elevations like Tabor Mountain and Spy Rock rise above the drainage networks of Katemcy Creek, Tiger Creek, and Waterhole Creek. Small-scale industrial activity is evidenced by several Gravel Pits and Prospects scattered across the central hills. The map provides a detailed view of the rural infrastructure of the early 1960s, including a complex system of fence lines and unimproved roads connecting isolated ranching properties near Flat Rock and along Mud Creek.
